Wednesday, June 12 So many of you asked for it – here is a picture of Tom and I in our swimsuits! That’s all I’m going to say about that! Staying put in Lava Hot Springs was a good idea; we drove downtown for a breakfast at the Chuckwagon. We would easily have been able to order 1 “mini-meat-skillet-breakfast” and share it! With beautiful scenery in every direction, Tom inquired at the campground desk where we were should head for a scenic drive . . . and off we went! We were misled a couple of times, and ended up just making a circle out in the country and back into town. With a late (and big) breakfast we had a couple snacks for lunch, and then enjoyed an afternoon siesta at the campground. I keep listening to Morman Tabernacle Choir albums – their greatest hymns, today! Mid-afternoon we went into town for a few grocery items, and then reported to the hot springs for a mineral dip. I took the camera inside the pool area this time to get pictures of the various mineral baths – but no pictures of us! Our tolerance for being down in the water is limited to the 105 degree pool and after 15 minutes submerged to the chin, we start moving to the ledges around the side and moving up by degree. We’re good for another hour in the water, and then sit in the shade on the edge with just feet and legs dangling while we dry off. Today we met a very like-minded couple that is camping the USA in a 1972 GMC motor-home, and enjoyed swapping favorite camping places with them. That pretty much wraps up our Lava Hot Springs escapade. Tomorrow we're on our way to another one of Tom's fond childhood memories . . . Craters of the Moon!

We don’t go camping any more . . . we go ‘streamin’ ! The “SIlvermine and His” is our 2018 25' Airstream Serenity with Salsa interior and front twin beds., and ‘streamin’ is the name we use to describe our adventures. Stream along as we document everything from weekend trips to longer summer excursions and full-blown vacations. You know what they say: if you’re not in an Airstream – you’re just camping!
